Tom Allen Is Actually Not Very Nice
Tom Allen's calm and collected exterior image collapses and he finally realises that he is actually not very nice. From 2018.
Tom Allen stars in his very own stand-up comedy special.
Tom explores what happens when his calm and collected exterior collapses, be it when confronting some rowdy teenagers on a bus or arguing with his Mum's friend Joyce about ham.
He used to be such a nice boy but what has happened to turn him naughty?
With help from the assembled studio audience, Tom works out how best to navigate some tricky social situations and how to keep a lid on his fury when confronted with life's small injustices.
